cutecom (probably a dumb question)

From: philo on 7 Feb 2010 18:33
I have an industrial sensor that I use at work
and can read the values and program it by using Hyperterminal in Windows.

I wanted to see if I could setup a machine with Linux to do the same.

I've used cutecom and can access the device's data
but have not found a way to program it.

In Hyperterminal I initiate the programming by simply hitting <enter>

I can find no way to do the same in cutecom

hitting the <enter> key does not do the trick

Your machine probably wants to see CRLF. You need to change the line
ending in Cutecom. In the lower right you will see a box with "LF end"
in it. Click the arrow and select "CRLF line end".

Now that I've been using Cutecom I see I have another problem.

To program the device...once I've hit <enter>

I have ten parameters that I need to program sequentially.

Unfortunately the first parameter is simply skipped over and my first
choice is parameter number 2 . In Hyperterminal it starts with number 1
as expected.
